It’s not easy being a spacecraft: invisible, energetic particles zip throughout space — and while there are so few that space is considered a vacuum, what’s there packs a punch. Each part of every NASA instrument destined for spaceflight goes through radiation testing to ensure it can survive in space.

Radiation is energy in the form of waves or tiny, subatomic particles. For spacecraft, the main concern is particle radiation. This radiation, which includes protons and electrons, can impact their electronics. Engineers use computer models to determine what a spacecraft’s destination will be like — how much radiation it will encounter there — and what kinds of tests they need in order to mirror that environment in the lab.

The Radiation Effects Facility, housed here at Goddard, helps inspect the hardware that enables NASA’s exploration of the Moon, the Sun and our solar system — from missions seeking to understand the beginnings of the universe to the Artemis program’s journey to the Moon much closer to home.

[BIHAKUEN]UVシールド(UVShield)

adem.gorges Just say my view here the electronics instruments. Impacted influenced here inside earth more than outer space. Because. In space no moisture. No cold just there the power of radiation waves. In some zones high temperature and very high temperature but. Inside earth there moisture cold hot high temperature in sometime. There many kind of eave radiation wirelesses electricity waves there many and many could impacted those. Electronics instruments. More than outer

artafakhari Aome questions: How fast are their computers? Does GHz computing has a meaning in this condition? Do you have any program to use Quantum Computers directly in space?

betto_cayres Sou louco e fascinado pelo o espaço, amo física e sou fã do estados unidos também fã do albert Einstein. meu sonho é conhecer o estados unidos

evancharlesreed Woooo! So glad to see code 561 is still doing great things! I did an internship there a few summers ago, and it was such a great experience

jgcarlson17 When's the James Webb launching. Been waiting too long. Thought it had a launch date in 2018 but delays , delays. What's the date now?

husfruunnnnn @nasagoddard are bit flips happening in your CPUs and if so, how do you protect your hardware from these particles
